Quiet

Quiet housingQuiet Housing was created for residents who requested an environment that will remain quiet for study, sleep and recreation. Residents and their guests agree to low noise levels regardless of the time of day or day of the week.

Designated quiet hours in Quiet housing:

  • Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 a.m.
  • Friday and Saturday from midnight to 10 a.m.

Residential and Dining Services expects residents living in Quiet housing to confront noise violations in their living space, hallways and entryways. If this confrontation is unsuccessful, contact your Resident Assistant or Police Services.

Residents who create a noise disturbance in Quiet Housing will receive a warning and/or be referred to arbitration to be held accountable to the community noise standards. If residents are unable or unwilling to resolve their dispute, it may result in their removal from the Quiet Housing community.

Good reasons Bad Reasons
I don't drink or use drugs. My parents don't think I drink alcohol or use drugs.
I like to party without drinking or using and my neighbors/roommates agree. I like to party with drugs and/or alcohol but I like being in a quiet dorm where other people aren't drinking or using.
I like to live with a community of people who will support me in my decision to not drink or use. Substance Free was all that was still available in the rooms I like.
It's a great place to live. I wanted to live with my friends and I know they won't mind if I have a beer now and then.
